Very clean and well equipped. Beautiful country location.

Lovely cottage in a very rural location. Very close to a public footpath which takes you on a wonderful walk through fields of sheep. The kids loved the walks and equally exploring the three floors of the cottage. Really great size. Charming and well decorated throughout. We cooked and ate in some nights, the kitchen has all the cooking equipment you could need, and ate at nearby pubs the other nights. Very relaxing setting. Constant traffic of horses and dog walkers at the road to the front of the cottage, which was fun, but other than that very quiet and peaceful.Good value for money. We would love to go again. Thank you for a refreshing and nature filled retreat.
